I Am Proof
A/N: This is the first story in my "I Am Proof" series. Basically, this is the perspective of the survivors of the war. A companionship series "I Am A Hero" would be the perspective of the people who died and their point of view in their dying breath.
Greyback was coming towards me. I knew he's going to kill me. I braced myself for the worst-- death. Everyone will die a little in a war.
I just wanted the whole thing. I wanted to die. No, I wanted the satisfaction of sacrificing my life for others. Something that was brave. I was in Gryffindor for chrissakes! Yet I did nothing but get passing grades and swoon over unattainable boys.
This was something a lion would do. This is brave. I am brave.
I retaliated a bit. He came fast and slashed my arm. I cried, and I shot a curse. Even if it did weaken him, I had no chance. I closed my eyes and I felt him slash my face. It hurt so bad...
"No!" I heard someone shout. I prepared for the final blow, the final bite. I already felt myself slipping away. I opened my eyes.
"Someone help her!" Hermione shouted. Seamus and Dean came to my aid and carried me to the healing center. Seamus look traumatized, whilst Dean just looked stressed.
"How ya feeling, fellow lion?" Seamus
"What do you think?" I said. He set me down on the bed.
"Why didn't you fight back?"
I didn't answer. Madam Pomfrey mended my broken bones, but could not do anything about the scars.
"I'm sorry Lavender, that's going to stay there forever."
"Damn," I said. "I missed my chance."
My name is Lavender Brown, and I am a survivor of the war.
Up Next: Luna or Ginny
